11. Poison the phoenix

Lord Yun Wuya of the Medical Immortal Valley received a letter from his friend Lin Zigui this day, saying that he had discovered something terrible in Cao County and asked him to come quickly. Lord Yun actually has nothing to do with the imperial court, but his daughter is still unknown in the imperial city, although there is news that she is doing well, but she will not be relieved if she does not see it with her own eyes. So after recuperating from his injuries for half a month, he decided to go out.

Lin Zigui's letter is undoubtedly an opportunity, Cao County has a big discovery, what is it? There was the only way to go to the imperial city, and Lin Zigui did not say it explicitly, which proved that the matter was serious, and he was afraid that the letter would be intercepted. Lin Zigui mentioned in the end by the way, asking his apprentice to plant some sycamore trees in the Medical Immortal Valley, and his bird was confirmed to be indeed a phoenix, so he had to rest on the sycamore tree.

Yun Wuya said to Shen Si with a tangled face, Shen Si was speechless, that bird can eat braised pork, what do you care about the plane tree?

At this time, Lin Zigui and the little phoenix were waiting for the braised pork sent by Master Cao at the county office, and the county magistrate looked helpless, and his county government couldn't afford to eat braised pork, but who made the little phoenix like it. He had never seen a phoenix in his life, and it was really an eye-opener. "Lord Lin, Lord Prefect will be here tomorrow." I wonder what you found in Cao Fu? He really wanted to ask. After all, the prefect is also very familiar with the master of the Cao family, and he can't afford to offend these two people.

"Hmm." It didn't help him to come.

"Chirp." The little phoenix looked out of the door with a blank eye, and when she saw someone coming in with a basket, she was instantly happy.

"The Divine Bird is really smart." The county commander slapped the ass.

Lin Zigui nodded politely, took the basket, and brought the braised pork inside to the little phoenix. The little phoenix happily stepped forward and pecked, but suddenly paused and did not move for a long time. Lin Ziyi is in a hurry, what's wrong with it? Could it be that the neuropathy is committed again?

Thump! The little phoenix fell on the table. Lin Zigui was stunned, and quickly picked it up, only to see a trace of blood at the corner of its mouth. Lin Zigui hurriedly took out the silver needle and pricked it, the Cao family's family had already gone back, no wonder he just felt that the person's expression was wrong, and he actually had the courage to poison him.

As soon as the little phoenix saw that she was going to get a needle, she immediately opened her eyes and "chirped" twice, indicating that she was suffering from internal injuries, why did she need to get a needle?

"Oh, I forgot that you are a phoenix, and all poisons are invulnerable." Dr. Lin withdrew the needle and pricked the bowl of braised pork, and the silver needle quickly turned black, and there was indeed a problem.

The county magistrate's face changed beside him, "What, how could it be ......" Why did Master Cao poison the phoenix?

"My lord, Cao Fu sent someone to deliver food, saying that it was prepared for the Divine Bird."

"Huh?" The county magistrate was stunned, "Didn't you just send it?" ”

Lin Zigui raised his eyebrows, interesting, is this a play sung by Master Cao himself, or does someone want to borrow his hand to give himself a warning? Knowing that he is a miracle doctor, although the people behind him don't know that the phoenix is invincible, even if it can be invaded, he is a miracle doctor and can naturally be saved, so he doesn't really want the life of the little phoenix. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it might be Master Cao, after all, he was the richest man in the county, and he was a scholar, so it was normal to give Ma Wei a little bit. But why would he send another one? It's completely superfluous. Maybe there was anyone behind it that he couldn't think of?

"It's okay, bring it." This guy spat blood for the sake of play, and he is also hard enough. After thinking about it, he decided to do what the man in black did and swallow a drop of the little phoenix's blood. When they can communicate, this guy won't have to take a bite and spit blood in order to remind them that the food is poisonous.

He took the food box, pricked it with a silver needle, and then put it in front of the little phoenix, remembering the black thing he had taken from the Cao family's dark room. It was supposed to be some kind of animal's horn, but he had never seen it. He was a descendant of the Medical Immortal Valley, and he had seen almost all the precious medicinal materials, but he had never seen this kind of horn, and he didn't know what to do with it. He remembered some myths and legends, and always felt that it was more similar to something in it, and if he had been in the past, he would have thought it incredible, but not now, because he had a phoenix in his hand. Even the legendary mythical bird of the phoenix will be picked up by him, what else is impossible?

"My lord, leave this matter to the subordinate to investigate." The county magistrate was stunned for a long time, and he didn't know what to do, but he had to have an explanation. Fortunately, the prefect is about to arrive, so it's better to take care of the matter first, and then hand it over to the prefect for a headache.

"Okay, I'll bother you." The forest is indispensable.

The county order has a strong sense of action, and quickly ordered the head catcher to go to Cao's house for questioning, and in less than a day, the word spread in the city, saying that Master Cao asked people to send food to the little phoenix, but the food was poisonous, and the little phoenix was dying.

Master Cao was extremely shocked, and hurriedly came to the county government to visit, and repeatedly assured Lin Zigui that he would never dare to poison the divine bird, and his anxious look did not look like pretending. Lin Zigui looked at him, and then looked at the county order, "It's okay, the phoenix is invulnerable, it is poisonous, how can it be poisoned to death?" ”

"Huh?" Old Man Cao timidly glanced at the phoenix squatting on Lin Zigui's shoulder, "Then Lord Lin, why are you ......" still so close?

"It's okay, I'm a doctor." Lin Zigui waved his hand absently. "Besides, it's only toxic in the body, but not outside."

"Oh." Master Cao and the county commander breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, the little phoenix had also touched them before, but fortunately it was fine.

"Lord Lin, Cao has never had the heart to poison the divine bird, and it is the blessing of Cao's three lives to be able to see it in this life." Master Cao looked sincere.

"I believe in Master Cao, this matter has been handed over to the county magistrate for investigation, it is estimated that someone borrowed the hand of Master Cao to give me a warning, this matter should have nothing to do with you."

Master Cao was stunned, and even the county magistrate was surprised, "Isn't your lord an enemy?" Master Cao asked with concern.

"Perhaps, I used to travel around, and I don't think it's necessary to have a grudge against someone. Or perhaps, it was the murder some time ago......" Lin Zigui said while paying attention to the expressions of the two.

He did even suspect the county order, if it wasn't for the poison given by Master Cao, then in this county town, the other most powerful and most likely to have something to do with the imperial city was the county order. Of course, there is no basis for such suspicions, but there is nothing wrong with probing.

The two of them changed their faces at the same time, and then they remembered that there was still an unsolved case, more than 90 people were killed, and the county order had been reported to the prefect. The news that Lin Zigui assisted the government in investigating the case has also spread early, so if he was warned because of this incident, it would be reasonable.

"It's so damnable!" Master Cao looked indignant, "With so many people dead, it is natural to find out the murderer, how can you hurt the Divine Bird because Lord Lin joined?" ”

"Chirp!" The little phoenix stood on Lin Zigui's shoulder to join in the fun, and also spread his wings angrily. Lin Zigui looked nervous, hey, you're going to breathe fire, you have to be calm, there are two big living people in front of you!
